It all seemed so simple then
You found a Saviour, you found a friend
You got the chance to start again
A brand new look at you
But now it's gettin' uncomfortable
You feel a battle raging in your soul
When to hold on when to let go
It's not so easy to do
Well they told you God was peace and love
Didn't anybody tell you this?
He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
You're looking for signs and wonders
He wants you under
Well there's your way and there's my way
But the better way is just get out of the way
You better beware - you see a cross there
Somebody's gonna die
He doesn't want you better
He wants you deader
We're all born under the mark of Cain
Got a cancer running through our veins
And like a rumor in the middle of your brain
It does anything to survive
Soon you become your own pimp
Trying to correct your own limp
One day a monster the next a wimp
Just trying to stay alive
Now every snake must shed his skin
That's the way it's always been
The truth is rising from the mist
And the word is this:
That when Jesus calls a man
He calls him to come and die!
Dead people don't mind pain
Don't get offended so they never complain
They're not concerned about personal gain
Does that sound like me or you?
Is this a thought you can't abide
That God has a dangerous side
Now you can stand or run and hide
But He will do what He will do
